Just minutes from the wonderful walled city of Lucca, Casale Sodini was originally built as a mill in the early 18th century. The villa features a simple, but elegant decor and a fabulous swimming pool. There is an additional annex, ten meters across the courtyard which sleeps 4 people, giving you the option of having seven bedrooms.

Casale Sodini is the perfect place for families and friends who want to experience the magic of Tuscany in comfort and style!

The rooms of the old mill have been transformed into intimate and comfortable living spaces, full of warmth and welcome. The old stable on the ground floor is now the dining room with a vaulted ceiling and beautiful stonework The entry hall’s large window looks on to the splendid garden. The study features a brilliant fireplace which becomes a magnet for gatherings and there is a beautiful powder room, a fabulous dining room, a television room, an office, a well equipped modern kitchen, as well as a laundry room.

On the upper floor of Casale Sodini are five double bedrooms, each with its own en suite bathroom. Three rooms face north with views of the panoramic valley and hills and two look southwards over the beautiful garden and brook. One of the five bedrooms is a large master suite with its own sitting room. The furnishings were carefully and patiently selected during the restoration to provide the utmost in comfort and luxury.
